As others have observed, it’s pretty hard to tell from the program, because it’s set to both 0.05 and 0.1 at different points in the doindexxx.m program. This split seems to get undone later in CPS operations, but perhaps not in the EIV operations. What a mess.

For reference: in the newtemp/ directory,
HAD_NH_reform is identical to the version at Mann’s website;
tempn95infxxx is identical once again, just under a new name
stdtempn95infxxx – is the same series, re-scaled
nhlinfxxx is obtained by .05 smoothing of stdtempn95infxxx

and, mutatis mutandi, for SH and GL.

Here’s a plot of their “target” smoothed temperature series. How many degrees of freedom in Nychka terms are in this sucker? I’d be surprised if it was out of the single digits.
